NBA Urges Players To Get Guard Dogs?

The NBA on Friday circulated a memo urging players to upgrade their home security and consider getting guard dogs following a rash of burglaries targeting professional athletes.

Ok… let’s pick this apart.

 

First, there are apparently South American gangs using sophisticated tech to overcome the electronic surveillance and alarm systems of targeted homes. So, you can’t do that to a dog. Turn off the alarm, and the dogs will still alert if they detect the scents, sounds or presence of intruders. Good stuff.

 

Second, if the dogs are left unsupervised, the gangs will kill the dogs and still do their dirty work. Thus, the dogs need to have human guards to accompany them. But not every player can afford this kind of security.

 

We know what needs to happen. Get these criminals and put them in prison. Good luck with that in California. Have a nice life. There might be more hope in other places, except Denver. Good luck there, too. Hope you have good insurance and that your families aren't home when invaded.
